Restoring sash windows is a really rewarding process. Especially when the window starts in such a sorry state as this one did. My client asked for my help to restore the holes in his window sash. As you can see from the first image, this took some skilled joinery!
Restoring Sash Windows – Some Important Information:
Every sash window is a little different. It is important that you begin the job by accommodating for any shape, style, or size. The first part of the process is to carefully survey each project to ensure period features are replicated.
Further to this, it is vital to use quality materials. This includes both wood materials and filler products. If any corners are cut at this stage, the restoration results will not be long-lasting. This will mean that the project will need to be repeated.
With more than 25 years’ experience in the industry, we utilise traditional techniques alongside modern equipment to restore sash windows. This process is employed, each time, to make sure that our results stand the test of time.
This may well be an extreme example but there are signs that your sash windows need maintenance (beside them falling apart). Repair and restoration can cover a range of issues and we are always on hand to offer tailored advice so that you can get the most from the project, without carrying out unnecessary works.
Some signs that your sash windows need care may include:
- Rotten timber components
- Loose corner joints or gaps
- Sticking sashes
- Swelling timber (due to moisture)
